Democracy Gone Astray

Democracy, being a human construct, needs to be thought of as directionality rather than an object. As such, to understand it requires not so much a description of existing structures and/or other related phenomena but a declaration of intentionality.
This blog aims at creating labeled lists of published infringements of such intentionality, of points in time where democracy strays from its intended directionality. In addition to outright infringements, this blog also collects important contemporary information and/or discussions that impact our socio-political landscape.

All the posts here were published in the electronic media – main-stream as well as fringe, and maintain links to the original texts.

It says more details will be provided as the products become available.

Uber offers an alternative to conventional taxi services, causing controversy and sometimes friction in communities where it operates.

Insurance coverage for Uber drivers has been one of the most contentious issues in Canada, although Uber has said its policies are adequate.
